I believe that the Good Lord gave us a finite number of heartbeats and I'm damned if I'm going to use up mine running up and down a street.
- Neil Armstrong
I went running a couple of Wednesdays ago and again the following Friday. Next time I swear I'm I'm going to take proper strides. That hurt going so slow not to get ahead of everyone else. I have longer legs. At some points I would have been faster walking. So I did.
Okay, probably not. I did had the edge of a headache yesterday before I even left GEAS. Urgh. 5 hours sleep. I'm going back to bed.
I woke up a few minutes ago to what I thought was the sound of the doorbell. The postman claims it was the doorbell upstairs he rang. I may have to change the channel that my alarm uses. That is easy enough for the 'chimer', but it'll be fiddly for the bell-push component. It is screwed onto the door and jammed tightly into a corner. Getting it out might be a 'fun' experience.
Well I guess I'm not that affected by the one drink. Funny, I was worried I'd be in a more intoxicated state than this. Or perhaps I am, and the fact that I've not been trying to do anything that requires any degree of manual dexterity has prevented me from seeing how bad I am. I'll at least consider having a drink on Thursday after rehearsals. But what to have?
I've signed up to run an Iron-GM game for Conpulsion. I will be given 3 random GURPS world books on the Saturday morning and will have to run a game for about 4 hours starting at 11 am the next day.
I am about to experiment with something: Caramel Mudshake. That's got Vodka in it. It's 5% by volume.
Yes, I'm about to drink some alcohol. One bottle only (250ml). This is the first alcohol to pass my lips since a glass of champagne in the summer of 1997, which at the time was the first alcohol I had had in about four or five years.

"The writings of a great amoralist - a de Sade, a Stirner, a Nietzsche - can inspire a handful of murders in two centuries. Over the same period, the writings of a great moral philosopher - an Aquinas, a Kant, a Bentham, a Mill - can justify, if not indeed incite, the deaths of millions in just wars and just revolutions.

Saw Paycheck this afternoon. Good. Very Good. I like. Another Philip K. Dick adaptation. I really should read more of his work. I wonder how long till the next PKD adaptation hits the big screen?
It was kinda fun to see the scrapes Murdoch was getting into and trying to figure out how each item in the envelope would come into it.
My cup of tea.

WebFlix/Royal Mail are exceptionally fast today. I put Dark City in the mail yesterday, a Sunday, at about noon, and got an email 26 hours later saying the next DVD was in the post. That is fast. I didn't even realise mail got collected on a Sunday. The next DVD is Appleseed, by-the-way.
